Time for Robby Washington to step up at CB

[kronic]

Besides 5 star elite talents like Cici and Bain, who on the team has really been recruited and developed? Bissanthe, Fletcher, Bell, Arroyo and Horton? Moten is solid but nothing special.

McCoy and Cooper both have been shaky this season.

Juries still out on this staffs development skills

McCoy and cooper are both 3 stars who are above avg starters on one of the better olines in the country. What exactly are you expecting there? And what about the manny holdovers that got better under this staff? Guys like rivers restrepo or george…the staff doesn’t get points for developing them because they didn’t recruit them?

 

[JohnnyYoung]

If I had to bet, I'd say Washington isn't a very good corner at the moment.

Yup. And folks will misconstrue this take as that he can’t be one. He can, CIS forgets CIS had changed his position in CIS Dynasty a lot longer ago than Miami and Washington did.

Juries out on McCoy, saw him against one legit d line this year (FSU) and he had a rough night.

I'm not the only one who feels this way:

Go ahead and list me the players on defense we've evaluated, signed and developed.

I can’t stress how bad we need to get Brown back healthy. We need him after this next bye week desperately.

 

[Confidence1000]

Where tf is Ryan Mack????

He’s been injured

 

[OptimusCreampie]

Idk how you guys expect a guy whose never played corner at the division 1 level to do it after switching mid season.

You mean you've never seen "Remember the Titans"? Cmon dude, just throw him out there and tell me to play man on one dude and stick to him.

I’m really interested to see how that lineup of OJ/Porter on the outside. Powell at the nickel and Zaquan and Harris deep looks for a full game.

I personally think it would be more serviceable.

Totally agree. Switches 2 guys to their best position and brings in Zaguan. Gotta be better unless Z struggles-----but he's smart and its game 10 not game 1 of the freshman's year

Alright. Time to move X to safety

 

[TouchMoney26]

yes

With Jadais Richard (hate to see him go down, praying for a speedy recovery) going down it's time for Robby Washington to step up. DMoney mentioned in the bank that this staff was looking to accelerate his development and now they have no choice. Washington brings speed and attitude to the position, let's see what he can do with more playing time.

Miami has a history of starters getting injured and the back up coming in and becoming a star, let's see if Washington can do the same.

yes!!! play him !!!

 

[JHallCanes]

Last year Davis and Couch were available as punching bags. That is the only reason why he was able to go unscathed. He never looked like OJ at any point last season.

yeah ..right !! i mean hes only played football since the age off 5

[Hufftwoseven]

Restrepo already has the records. Can he switch to slot??

& Is he supposed to be? Just because someone has the tools to play a position doesn't mean they're ready to play it when it matters. You wanna stake our season on getting him experience? He should be getting situational reps and now he is. But people gotta temper they're expectations.

The snap count thread doesn’t show him with even one rep vs Duke though. There had to have been a way to get him a few looks?

Can Powell make his calls from Nickel? No one’s trusting Harris and a freshman to do it

I have no idea who you're talking to. I don't think he should be playing.

I was talking to you. But you reiterated my point. He shouldn't be a very good corner right now. He shouldn't even be a good corner right now realistically speaking. He's learning a new playbook and a new position from scratch no need to force that kid into that ****
